Police say the body of a woman found dead in a North Side apartment Wednesday showed no obvious sign of injury, contrary to reports made shortly after the discovery that the woman's boyfriend, who was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head, fatally shot her.

Officers discovered the couple, 26-year-old Marian Beltran and a 37-year-old Johnny Eoff, around 3 p.m. at the Indigo Apartments in the 11500 block of Braesview after responding to a call about a strange odor emanating from the apartment.

Police were able to crack open the door, but rebar prevented them from entering the apartment, according to a preliminary report of the incident. Firefighters were called to the scene to help bust inside.

Just inside the doorway, the couple was found dead. The man had apparently killed himself with a shotgun, according to McManus, though police are still unsure how the woman died. McManus said Wednesday that the man fatally shot her, but in a preliminary report released early Thursday, police say she showed no obvious signs of injury.
